Regulation is not the answer. We tried serious regulation with liqueur in the 1920s and it failed. We tried regulation on certain drugs and failed again. We post speed limit signs and few people obey them. We pass laws in hopes that the 1% will pay taxes, and they find ways to avoid them anyway.
I do not have an answer to the violence that we have in our country. If I did I would be happy to share it with everyone and try to make our country more peaceful. I do not know what would possess any sane person to kill complete strangers. If there were a regulation or law that these people would obey I would certainly vote for whichever candidate supported the passage of that law.
I do know that I try to obey the law and encourage others to obey the law. That is the best I can do until someone smarter than me comes up with some measure that would actually work. I do know that targeting honest law-abiding firearm owners does nothing to stop the violence. It does cost votes for the Democrats. And this election cycle every vote counts.
